Summary

A lot of artists come to me wanting to know how to paint more.

How to paint better.

They want to be prolific painters.

So in this episode, I walk you through how to become a prolific painter in three, very straightforward steps.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck or not achieving as much as you could, this episode is for you.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of doing things just for the sake of doing them. I like to have a reason and a clear purpose. Of course, I paint because I like to paint but having a clear purpose keeps me centered when things get tough or I don’t “feel like painting.”

I’d rather not leave painting up to my whims. It’s too important to me.

Main Takeaways from this episode:

The quality of your thoughts directly influences the quality of your paintings; mastering your mental landscape is key to improving your art.
Being a prolific painter isn't just about quantity; it's about consistently creating meaningful and deliberate artwork.
Aligning your emotions with your artistic goals enhances creativity and productivity, making the art-making process more fulfilling.
Relentless Action: Painting success comes from consistent, purposeful action—setting clear goals, choosing desired emotions, and persisting through challenges.
Developing a strategic approach to your art practice can transform your effectiveness as an artist, leading to more significant personal and professional growth.
